meliss923 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 I am looking to bid for the first time on priceline. June 14th - 16th in NYC, 4*, in CPS, TS, MW, ME, or ESB areas. I have booked the Millenium Hilton as a back up for $199 per night. So, the max price I would accept from priceline would be $170. Suggestions on how to bid would be appreciated. Also, I would prefer a king or queen size bed. Is it possible to request this and is it likely to get what you want?Thanks,Melissa
thereuare Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!At the 4* level you have SIX re-bid zones.

audreydoll Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 I just got the New York Hilton on Priceline for $120 for Saturday, June 14. I see that you want Saturday and Sunday but Sundays are usually the cheapest night of the week so you might get this hotel for both nights for that price.Be sure you use the PRICELINE link in thereuare's post above when you bid.
meliss923 Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Posted June 7, 2008 It worked!!! I booked Hilton New York for $120 per night for 6/14 - 6/16. Thanks so much for the advice and help!Melissa
